Monthly Shamanic Drumming Cirlce

Shamanic Drumming is a rhythmic form of drumming. Its purpose is to induce a range of ecstatic trance states in order to connect with the spiritual dimension of reality. Please note you need a shamanic drum or bodhran to attend.

Here is some information on Shamanism and Shamanic Drumming which I would advise you to have read beforehand.

Practical Considerations

The Yard is predominantly an outdoor space - the session will happen in the big shed which is classed as an outdoor space because of the % of it that is not enclosed, as such these sessions will be categorised as outdoor sessions. There are some things for you to consider before you book in:

• There are no doors on the shed yet and as such both ends are open to elements - If the weather isn’t great it may be cold and/or even a bit wet. I don’t let this deter me as I embrace the elements in my work as such I will never cancel a session because of bad weather unless it is a status yellow warning or above.

• Please note we do not currently have a toilet at The Yard.

• There will be plenty of parking and you can arrive anytime from 6:30 pm onwards.

• The session will last 2 hours from 7pm to 9pm.

• There is no charge for the sessions and donations are greatly appreciated. All donations will go directly into improving the Shed and its comfort levels.

• You will need:

1. Cushion
2. Blanket
3. Pen 🖊
4. Notebook 📔
5. Warm clothes

Covid Considerations

• I will cap session at 15 people including me.
• I will strive to keep a good physical distance between all attendees. As such I will ask you to spread your mats out.
• I will not be asking people to wear a mask as this would hinder the experience. As both ends of the shed are open there is exceptionally good ventilation.
• I will not be asking people if they are or are not vaccinated and we will not be determining inclusion/exclusion on this basis
• I will ask you to fill in an online webform questionnaire on the day of the event. If you answer yes to any of the questions on this questionnaire I will ask you not to attend the event that day.
